Shaojun riding the sea

Chapter 4 The Glass Mirror

"I, I really like you."

Facing Yue Wugui's scorching eyes, Shi Xuanling responded softly, but somehow felt guilty and lowered his head slightly.

What is "like"?

He took her to the sea so that she could escape from the Shi family, embrace the vast sky again, and breathe the breath of freedom. She was grateful to him, and would smile unconsciously when she saw him.

She can still see the little gray cat in his heart, and every time the little gray cat cries, she can't help feeling sorry for him.

A Niang once told her that if you take pity on a man, you will gradually fall in love with him.

Although she doesn't understand it very well, the feelings she has for Yue Wugui can also be called "like"?

She's not counting... lying to him, right?

Just as she was thinking of being in a trance, the boy suddenly whispered in her ear:
"By the way, what did you feed me last night? It's very sweet, is there any more?"

"Yes, yes, it's my own nectar!"

Finally, someone knew what to buy, Shi Xuanling's eyes lit up, and immediately took out the sugar jar that he was carrying with him, and poured many of them into Yue Wujiu's palm.

While she was excitedly talking about how she learned how to make this honey candy from her tribe when she was young in the mountains of Qingli, she also remembered how she went to Shi's house when she was nine years old, and she took out candies to please her brothers and sisters, but she was disgusted.

"It's obviously the honey that I made with my heart, so where is it dirty?"

The girl pursed her lips, but the boy in front of her suddenly said, "Don't care."

"what?"

Shi Xuanling looked over, and the young man's eyes were extremely serious: "Those annoying guys from the Shi family ruined your mind, you don't have to care about them."

He pursed his lips, and said in a low voice: "I won't need it in the future... I will share it with others."

"what?"

Shi Xuanling didn't hear clearly, Yue Wugui shook his head, didn't say any more, but clenched the candy in his palm and turned around.

"Go ahead with the needles."

Maybe acupuncture really worked. This night, Yue Wugui had a good night's sleep and had a long dream.

In the dream, he and Shi Xuanling returned to the imperial city and flew kites together under the clear sky.

He affectionately called her "Little Bell," as her people called her.

But after flying the kite, he sent her back to Shi's mansion. Under the attic, for some reason, he suddenly said to her: "Let me tell you, I hate people lying to me the most."

At this moment, for some unknown reason, the painting style of the dream suddenly changed, and something began to go wrong.

"A daughter of the Shi family already lied to me, and she lied to me very badly. If, if...you lied to me too..."

The young man was short of breath, clenched his fists, like a little beast full of hostility, revealing the darkest side of his heart.

"If you lied to me too, I will kill you with my own hands, for sure!"

There was a sudden thunder, and the sky suddenly began to rain. In front of the attic, the girl's expression changed in the rain, she put away all her smiles, and instantly became as cold as ice.

In front of him, she mercilessly threw the kite they were flying together on the ground without mercy.

"Of course I lied to you. The more blameless you are, now that you have fallen into the abyss and lost everything, who will really love you?"

"no, I can not……"

The young man was flustered and seemed to be in a state of madness. The dream was shattered into many pieces, and in one of them, he pierced the girl's chest with a sword, and blood splashed half of his face.

"No!"

In the dark night, Yue Wujiu suddenly sat up, his back dripping with cold sweat.

The sea breeze whistled in my ears, there were few stars outside the window, and the moonlight was pale. On the sea tonight, there was an exceptionally bleak silence.

After his heartbeat completely calmed down, Yue Wujiu got up from the bed, and quietly walked around behind the screen.

Shi Xuanling was sleeping peacefully at the moment, her long black hair spread out beside the pillow, and her fair face looked so pure and peaceful under the moonlight outside the window.

Yue Wujiu looked at her for a long time, then moved his eyes down again, and finally landed on the pair of shoes beside the bed.

In the moonlight, the jacaranda flowers embroidered on the shoe are beautiful and elegant, as if they still have light.

Staring at the jacaranda flower on the shoe for a long time, the young man unknowingly frowned.

He finally raised the corners of his lips, feeling inexplicably... at ease.

-

The time at sea was peaceful and long, Yue Wugui gradually got better under Shi Xuanling's considerate care.

But Yunzhou Island was also close at hand. In the waters near the island, they got off the ship from the imperial city and boarded the ship sent by Yunzhou Island.

It was a huge sea ship with five floors, three of which were filled with slaves exiled from all over the world, and the fourth floor housed the officers and soldiers of Yunzhou Island.

The fifth floor is exclusive to one person.

That man's name was Zhong Lisheng, the son of the owner of Yunzhou Island, and he was in charge of picking them up.

Zhongli's family has a great reputation and has been guarding Yunzhou Island for generations. He has wealth, power, and military power. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the "Emperor of the Earth" on the island.

It's just that the young island master was so weird, he didn't even show his face from the beginning to the end, and let his subordinates take care of everything, and the tone was really not ordinary.

But Shi Xuanling didn't bother to guess the young island owner anymore, because the little gray cat on Yue Wujiu's shoulder popped out again.

The ship that left the imperial city, this time, Yue Wugui didn't have any special treatment.

After all, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. Even if Emperor Yun cares about the old love, how much can he reach this remote sea?

Together with Shi Xuanling, he was imprisoned on the third floor with many slaves, in the fully-packed cabin, even his breathing felt suffocated.

Fortunately, the island is not far away, at most one or two days to arrive.

But this was still extremely difficult for Yue Wujiu, so Shi Xuanling was lucky enough to appreciate a "different" little gray cat——

Sometimes frowning in pain, clenching fists forbearance, sometimes preoccupied and sighing seriously, the little kitten is born, already looking like he has nothing to love.

In Shi Xuanling's eyes, this attitude of enduring humiliation and heartbroken heartache is inexplicably cute. She can't help laughing, and often laughs alone under Yue Wujiu's gloomy gaze.

Finally, Yunzhou Island was approaching, and the slaves on the boat began to get restless.

The sea breeze blew across the sparkling water, Shi Xuanling swept across the uneasy crowd on the third floor, suddenly his eyes lit up, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Ah, I saw a little pale pink spider!"

Yue Wujiu was reclining in the cabin with his eyes closed, when he heard this, he opened his eyes and asked doubtfully, "What spider?"

Shi Xuanling stretched out her finger, and there was a smoky pink figure sitting at the west end of the stern by the window, Shi Xuanling excitedly said to Yue Wugui: "That girl is very special!"

special?

Yue Wujiu frowned and looked at it, she was just a soft and weak little girl, full of bookishness, she should have been a lady from an official family, but for some reason she fell into this trouble, but other than that, he didn't see anything unusual.

What he didn't know was that, from Shi Xuanling's eyes, the little girl's shoulders were shrouded in white mist, and a little pale pink spider was emerging——

Yes, the pink and tender little spider, coiled in the center of the web, is engrossed in reading the book, fascinated, and sees nothing around it.

Sure enough, when the girl raised her head, she was holding a book in her hand.

To be precise, she held a book in one hand and a weird round lens in the other. Every time she read a few lines, she would pick up the round lens and put it in front of one eye, and look at the book through the round lens. Content.

"That girl... her eyes don't seem to work well?"

Yue Wujiu finally noticed this "strangeness". He had a prominent family background since he was a child, and he had never seen anything interesting in the world, so he could tell what the girl was holding in his hand at a glance.

"What she is holding in her hand should be a piece of glass mirror, which can make people with eye problems see things normally, but this thing is quite rare. It is good if she can get one. It seems that she is not only a lady from an official family, but also from a family background. Not low, but speaking of it this way, how could such a noble lady... come down to this point?"

When Yue Wujiu said this, he suddenly stopped talking, what happened to the famous lady, why couldn't she be exiled to Yunzhou Island?
He is still the emperor's nephew, so is there any difference in the fate of this ship full of sinful slaves?

The little gray cat's mood dropped suddenly, but Shi Xuanling was full of interest and said: "I think she is so cute, I really like that little spider."

"Where are the spiders?"

Yue Wugui raised his head, suspecting that his eyes were broken, but Shi Xuanling hesitated and said: "Well... Anyway, I just like her very much. I want to go and talk to her and ask her name, is that okay?"

There were mixed fish and dragons on the boat, and when boarding the boat, Yue Wugui told Shi Xuanling not to leave his side easily, otherwise he was afraid that something might happen to her.

Now that Yunzhou Island is approaching, and the journey is going smoothly, Shi Xuanling just said a few words with people in the past, it really doesn't matter.

What's more, the one she "sees" is still a girl, not some dubious little boy, Yue Wugui put his heart into his stomach, and nodded lightly: "You go."

Shi Xuanling jumped away happily, but before she could squeeze in front of the "Spider Girl", the girl's hand was accidentally bumped by someone next to her, and the small round mirror she was holding fell to the ground unexpectedly.

"I, my glass mirror!"

The voice was thin and soft, with a smell of books, but the owner of the voice was quite anxious. He stood up and was about to pick up the small round mirror, but he was bumped by the person next to him, and almost died. To fall down.

Shi Xuanling's eyes were quick and his hands were quick, he just came to her, and quickly helped her, "Don't worry, I'll pick it up for you!"

As she spoke, she threw herself into the crowd, moving through the crowd deftly, but the small round mirror also seemed to have eyes, rolled all the way out, and was kicked a few times unintentionally.

Fortunately, it was not crushed, but was kicked farther and farther, and finally rolled directly outside the cabin.

Finally, it landed firmly on the deck.

Shi Xuanling was overjoyed, stepped forward a few steps, and when she was about to bend down to pick it up, a hand was one step ahead of her, taking the glazed mirror into her hand first.

"Whose thing is it?"

A sharp voice resounded on the boat, and a man came, dressed in official uniform, with a sword at his waist, followed by two teams of guards.

"Money, Lord Qian, this is mine!"

Before Shi Xuanling could speak, the "Spider Girl" had already squeezed out from the crowd in the cabin, and said urgently.

"Your things?" Master Qian snorted coldly, and then he illuminated the glazed mirror to the sun, narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "They are all criminal slaves, and they are exiled to Yunzhou Island. What is your own thing?"

As he spoke, he looked at the people in the cabin again, and shouted loudly: "I heard you clearly, you lowly slaves, everything on your body, including your own life, belongs to Yunzhou Island !"

The people on the boat kept silent, even if they were dissatisfied, they didn't dare to show it. This Mr. Qian has long been "famous", if he offended him, there would be no good fruit on the island in the future.

Obviously, this Mr. Qian is very interested in the "windfall" he picked up, and he doesn't intend to return it to its original owner.

"I'll take this thing for you first. If I behave well on the island, I will decide whether to return this thing to you or not depending on my mood in the future."

As he said that, he was about to put that expensive glazed mirror into his arms, "Spider Girl" got anxious and took another step forward.

"Yes, but Master Qian, I read books every day, and I can't live without it for a moment. Please return it to me..."

"What a fart, if you dare to say a word again, believe it or not, I will throw you into the sea to feed the sharks?!"

Mr. Qian's saliva flew high, Shi Xuanling stood on the deck, and clearly saw white mist swirling around his shoulders, squatting a greedy toad, spitting, and dripping disgusting mucus, it was extremely ugly.

"Master Qian, I really..."

"Go away, go back to the cabin, don't make me angry!"

The one surnamed Qian lost his patience, and suddenly pushed the weak girl away, and it was Shi Xuanling who was behind her with sharp eyes and quick hands, who helped her in time.

"Master Qian, don't do it, I have something more interesting here, do you want to see it?"

Shi Xuanling took a step forward, protecting the "Spider Girl" behind her, and lifted the bell in her hand with a smile, and waved it in front of Mr. Qian's eyes.

For some reason, two wisps of purple smoke seemed to float out of the bell, which made Mr. Qian's nose itch, and immediately sneezed.

The glazed mirror in his hand also lost its grip and fell straight onto the deck. Shi Xuanling reached out deftly and caught it.

She quickly handed it to the "Spider Girl" behind her, and then raised her hand and shook the bell in front of Mr. Qian several times, which made him sneeze continuously, and his whole face became red and swollen quickly for no reason.

"Thank you, Mr. Qian, for exchanging with me. Isn't the bell sound nice? I will accept this gift as Mr. Qian, and leave first!"

As he said that, Shi Xuanling pulled the "Spider Girl" who was still in a daze, and jumped into the cabin lightly, while Mrs. Qian on the deck was still sneezing violently. He didn't come back to his senses until the two girls squeezed into the crowd——

"You, you witch, stop, what poison have you given me?"

Two teams of guards chased into the cabin. In the chaos, Shi Xuanling's voice could only reach the deck.

"It's so comfortable to sneeze, but it's one of the great joys in life. I'm doing this for Mr. Qian. Why doesn't Mr. Qian appreciate it?"

"It's nonsense, stop for me!"

While Mr. Qian was sneezing, his face became more and more red and swollen. From a glance, he really looked like a swollen "toad".

There was commotion in the cabin, that Qian Toad chased after him, and was about to put a hand on Shi Xuanling's shoulder, but a handsome young figure stopped him.

"If you dare to touch her, I'll break your hand, believe it or not?"
